About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare to face a colossal threat in Nova Aetas Renaissance: Draco! This expansion introduces a Titan, brother of Cronos, emerging from the hills of Civita di Bagnoregio, shrouded in mystic mist. The creature slumbers near a rift capable of making imaginary worlds dream, and now it poses a real danger to the Italian city-states.

With Draco, the fun extends beyond the base game. You can embark on a cooperative 3-mission hunt mini-campaign in Nova Aetas, where the goal is to track and confront this legendary creature. If you enjoy the Black Rose Wars universe, Draco can be summoned as a Forgotten Spell, adding a new level of strategy and power to your games. Imagine controlling this gigantic miniature (with over a 250mm wingspan!) on the battlefield!

The expansion includes the impressive Draco miniature, cards that bring new challenges and opportunities, a new map tile to vary the scenery, and a rulebook. It's an addition that promises epic battles and memorable moments for fans of Nova Aetas and Black Rose Wars. Language dependency is moderate, requiring consultation of translated sheets or cards for a complete experience. Prepare your dice and your best strategies to face this new and powerful threat!
